A loud collective cry or shout made by many people at once; the act of crying out together in unison.
From Latin 'conclamatio,' derived from 'conclamare' meaning 'to cry out together,' with 'con-' (together) and 'clamare' (to shout). The noun denotes both the action and the resulting sound.
Roman generals recorded 'conclamation' as a sign of approval from their troops or the Senate—it was the ancient equivalent of a standing ovation and held political power in decision-making.
